Whew. Survived the post-holiday back-to-work and two-WMSE-shows in one week scene. I know -- it's tough all over. Here are new trax followed by 80s at 8:30 trax from this week's City Rock Showgram ... BTW, I played 21 new tracks in first 2.5 hours of the showgram (admittedly a bit above my average). The point is that at WMSE, we just play new and local music, as we always have. There are no "new music" days because it's every stinkin day! ... 6 pm hour ... New ... Lemonheads -- Dandelion Seeds

Their male/female harmonic story tale lyrical style, set sing-songily atop a bed of mixed percussion, light guitars and twinkled xylophone action is just too cute for words. And so are they.
